Ed Reed has joined in on a few practices, but still has not been able to participate in any game action. It sounds like he might need to take another day off to rest up. He is needed at the end of the season and not the beginning. It would be nice for him to be out on the field with the team now, but they were able to steal a victory on Monday Night without him there.

The defense was a big part of that victory as well. In the second half of the game, the Texans were able to force the Chargers to 3-and-outs a few times and were able to mount a 21-point combeack. When Ed Reed joins the team, things will only get better.
